80KT WINDS UNDERWAY IN THE BAHAMAS!! Severe cruising weather on a boat!

Join us this week on Aboard Mermaid Monster as we encounter a very serious storm while underway in the Bahamas! This weather system cell was no joke as our buddy boats saw wind speeds of up to 80kts. The winds were so strong they lost their steering and had to just turn up into the wind and wait it out! Watch as we explain a few wild stories that happened during the storm and enjoy the raw footage we put out there. We really wanted to just let you guys experience what we experienced. Have no fear though, the story ends well and we end up heading to Big Majors where we explored Sandy Cay and the pig beach. Thank you so much for being here and supporting us! It’s been a very busy few years for our family and we are happy we can still put out this videos! We hope you enjoy them Sundays at 9am ET!!
Cheers

What a great ending to a challenging cruise. Your smile shines, Brooke, when you mention that it was a hard journey but that you love it. I'm glad Mermaid Monster missed the strongest winds. The day at Sandy Beach (and the pigs!) made the challenge worthwhile. Thank you for another great episode.

[@Arian0027]

Brooke you are absolutely glowing. Love your hair. Happy Mother’s Day

[@bobblack6816]

Happy Mother’s Day to the best mom ever!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@sully122]

Happy Mothers Day Brooke!! Super super cool Mom!! May your Day be Blessed with Joy, Love and all sorts of Happiness!!

[@MV2Umbrellas]

Cool parents. Raising so many kids is already a challenge. Raising kids this way is ALMOST mission impossible 😂👍

[@ABOARDMERMAIDMONSTER]

Haha your mission if you choose to accept it

[@andrewlynn4263]

Happy Mother’s Day.

[@hobie695]

Everyone's tanned. Y'all looking good!

[@HeavyHaulKen]

Thanks for sharing boating and family life! Looks like everyone enjoyed the beach and the piglets. Working for the next month or more here at Morehead City NC, like seeing all the very nice boats!

[@annieshobbies]

The All-Seas 92 Explorer!

[@beartiger1553]

No it’s not what’s it’s made out to be

[@ThoughtfulWander]

Mermaid Monster delivery service confirmed! Will deliver for treats for the kids! 👍👍😂😂🤣🤣

[@mrdns63]

👍👍 totally enjoy the longer video s guys 👍👍 Thank You

[@patriot130]

Leo's walking! Cant wait to see all these kids kite boarding one day.

[@lencritcher1144]

Been at anchor in 5ft+ seas in Big Major before - great video and stay safe.

[@ThoughtfulWander]

Leo is mobile! Whoot the real fun is now! 👍👍👊👊go Leo go! 👍👍

[@ThoughtfulWander]

Great episode! Yeah down in Fl and Bahamas weather can always surprise us! Be careful and keep rolling MM crew! 👍👍 heck anywhere the ocean is can have crazy weather... lol

[@ThoughtfulWander]

Some nice yachts at that anchorage!😯😯👍👍

[@edwardmacintosh9476]

Count the length of chain that goes out for 10 seconds of windlass roll out. Then you have a fairly accurate measure for 10 seconds of roll out. Then just time your windass roll out , & you will know the amount of chain going out to water. ( make sure your time count is correct )

[@juliazentner681]

They sb on radio.but people chartering are told if they're sails are up they have rite of way bc they cant change directions as easily. But they definitely sb communicating! Love y'all's channel! thank you for sharing!

[@fish1860]

We cruise full time and we just missed all those storms this year in the exuma’s, somehow the weather gods had our back.currently in Abacos not looking forward to returning to the states

[@petesheppard1709]

🎼Sailing, sailing! Over the Bounding Main!!🎶

[@michaellabombard9507]

Bet your glad your in a Nordhavn for that storm!

[@rjbones62]

Hi Guys. Love the channel. My chain is marked with zip ties!!! Lol

[@theresegriffiths6810]

Happy mother day stay safe

[@rickinnes]

Good video ❤- lol - episode 1 popped up - I must say , the microphones 🎤 have come a long way .

[@chrismcleod1796]

I would hate a crew ! this is why the nordhavn 68 is so awesome .. the 76 is on the cusp , I do believe it could be handled but you would have to be careful ..

[@hawaiibound62]

We had to fly through that!! Wasn't fun!

[@ABOARDMERMAIDMONSTER]

Omg wow

[@JayDoc895]

Great video! Glad you guys made it safely. Was the tender ever recovered? Also, what do you think about Berrings? With the growth in your family are you guys thinking about going up in size?

[@captainsalty9022]

See Edward Mackintosh’s suggestion. Then divide by ten to find how many feet per second. It’s easy after that and accurate enough. I did this on my own boat for a similar reason. My hydraulic windlass moves chain at one foot per second. Makes it easy.

[@rlpatton1970]

I use different color zip ties on my chain.. works great

[@tcoker6616]

Sounded like the music from “The Magnificent Seven”!

[@MarketingStrategies28]

I was just looking at buying a Lady K last week

[@wrbouwman7287]

👍

[@skippergrundy5248]

Happy Mother's Day, Brooke. Question for you and Brandon. Honestly speaking, how safe do you feel on your Nordhavn ? Knowing you have three children on board, plus, yourselves. Love your lifestyle.

[@ABOARDMERMAIDMONSTER]

Very safe!!

[@skippergrundy5248]

@@ABOARDMERMAIDMONSTER Kinda knew your answer in advance, but, curiosity was at play. Myself, grew up on the ocean. Crossed a few seas myself. The Atlantic the Mediterranean., red sea, Arabian sea, explored the Persian gulf... I was on board a ro-ro ship. One time we were about 100 miles west of the Azores, ran into waves cresting over our bow. Waterline to bow, sixty feet. Many times on the bridge, going through the seas of Atlantic, always remind me of being a cork in a set of rapids. Rouge waves always made you wonder, is this my last trip. Sunrises and sunsets, are beautiful from the middle of the oceans. Enjoy your videos, and thank you for sharing them.

[@steveale0711]

On the anchor chain measure could you take a 100 ft length of small wire or something that won’t float then snorkel/dive and use it to mark your chain temp with colored ties?

[@almuradyh]

Is that Lady K, the KZbinr, on the radio?

[@KMT15]

Dang still no wipers??

[@rlpatton1970]

Sailboats and charter are two different things

[@Lighthouse6b]

Did you epoxy the magnet when it was installed? I had one rust out and ordered a new one and everything was functional again.

[@bobblack6816]

Did you notice that another N55 with TWINS is for Sale? Anything on you all moving up??

[@Huskypound]

Hi, I agree with you guys about nordhavn especially since your familiar and have already had a good experience. That being said you can’t tell me y’all aren’t considering a Bering Explorer(65ft)?! Love the show guy.

[@ABOARDMERMAIDMONSTER]

We actually aren’t considering a Bering. They are not tried and true and tested like the Nordhavns. ❤️

[@dasimcoes]

Bering yachts are well built and designed. They have steel hulls instead of glass, so it depends on the person’s preference. I don’t think you can go wrong with either Nordhaven or Bering.

[@ABOARDMERMAIDMONSTER]

Maybe not but show us where to find a Bering to view and what accomplishments they have under their belts? We are genuinely hard pressed to find one! Not dissing Bering we just can’t find them!

[@dasimcoes]

@@ABOARDMERMAIDMONSTER Honestly, there aren’t many out there for sale. I have found a few online. Most are built to order. The only issue for me was/is the smallest explorer yacht they make is a 65, which is a little too big for What I wanted/needed. The company is young for ship builders, Around 2006 or 2007 I think. As for accomplishments, I just searched online just like I did for Nordhavn. Thanks for the reply and safe travels. I enjoy your videos.

[@paulsmith9961]

Brook you look so beautiful

[@juliazentner681]

Colored zip ties .. lol i wrote it then you said it!

[@dougkipper702]

Just send out the 200mtrs and time it - if it takes 1min then your chain moves out at 100mtrs every 30 secs. Just a thought

[@LaszloBagi]

Time to head to Bermuda

[@seanhanlon5867]

The poor wee flag takes a battering 😥 and the crazy weather 😓

[@tcoker6616]

Dude! What’s on your beard?

[@darploin5071]

That's what I was about ready to say just when you go into town get some rope and a tape measure measure the rope out leave a little space at the end of time not then once you know where the length of your rope saw is at certain points you marked the rope then you'd take it back to the yacht tie it to the very first loop in the chain that's attached to the anchor and then let it out along the side of the chain And that shouldn't the marks under opposition market chain where your shot point should be

[@richardmmatics5087]

What do you use to make the water repelled from windows?

[@patriot130]

Most likely rain X

[@ABOARDMERMAIDMONSTER]

Yuppers

[@darploin5071]

Now for the only way those owners of those mega yachts to be able to have time alone on the ot by themselves with the crew taking some short leave as if the owner has a unlimited captain's license

[@brianhughes6986]

So time 10 feet or 20 eliminate and work from there

[@camone60]

Don, are we really asking politicians to be honest and abide by their own word!!!!

[@56Spookdog]

I don’t think the mega yacht owners care much about having crew around all the time. I’ve done some work In some of the wealthiest people’s mansions they have “crews” in their homes too.

[@hclausse]

Brandon looks like he has pink eye. I can tell Brooke feels uncomfortable as im sure shes ready to have that baby!

[@michaeltraweek2377]

Brook ... Why haven't you talked about the fact that your pregnant again ?... I think I've asked you before and maybe you have ... Have I missed you talking about it ?... Think's Great ... By the way I like your new Hairdo !...

[@ABOARDMERMAIDMONSTER]

Haha I have talked about it!! Due very very soon ❤️❤️❤️❤️
